how is early access going to work?

[Dustytome]

also... 'Early Access' was marked in my MogStation but my 'Collector Edition' was not... despite ordering the CE Edition 100+ days earlier, anyone knows why?

As Rongway said, you need the full code that you'd enter at launch for the CE stuff. The pre-order code is just a generic code that is in no way specific to the variety of editions released. It's that 2nd code for the full license you receive that tells the system "This person bought CE, shovel these digital goodies into their mogmail."

are all of the combat/job changes going live on the 28th, but inaccessible to people who did not preorder?

The servers will be down for 24 hours before early access, when all adjustments/additions are made. Anyone without "early access" will be in the same spot as someone who hasn't bought the expansion.

Your CE won't be registered until you actually receive it and enter the code in mogstation.

I have the code but it won't work until July 2nd. I can wait for that stuff. Just glad that early access is entered and ready to gooooooooooooo

All who pre-order shadowbringers and claim the early access key will be able to play shadowbringers content on the 28th, as the new classes are part of shadowbringers you very likely wont be able to unlock them until you buy the expansion.

[Aylis]

just make sure to enter the key before the 6th of July.

Very important bit here. If this expansion is like the others then if you log out in the new content areas. You will not be able to relog back into the game without either registering the expansions key or contacting support to warp your character out.

On the 25th (Tuesday, regular patch day) or 28th (Friday) they will patch the game to 5.0.

Then on the 28th, everyone who pre-ordered Shadowbringers and have redeemed the pre-order code will have access to all of the Shadowbringers content of 5.0.



Collectors Edition codes more than likely become available on the 2nd, at the official release.

This isnt 100% new classes will be available from the start of early access this is what happened in Heavensward and Stormblood the new classes required that you could get to the new zones for their class stories but im sure you can pick up the job quests in the ARR world.

[Noitems]

Everyone can play the game but only those who used the early access code will be able to do 5.0 content.

Once the early access period wears off (which is about a week) you will need to use a code (the base game/digital CE/code from the physical CE) in order to continue playing.

Just curious. Have you guys received the 2nd code already?

I only have 1 code so far which is the early access code that I received in late Feb.

Only those that got the game digital more then likely have the 2nd code. Only those with physical have to wait.
